#ShutDown850
Social Media Storm! NoNewSFJails’ Digital Day of Action
Nonewsfjail.org/storm Below 800 people remain in San Francisco’s jails, many of whom are imprisoned in the decrepit
and earthquake-unsafe CJ4 at 850 Bryant St. With toxic fumes, flooding & sewage, being in jail right now with the COVID pandemic is a death sentence. SF Supervisors must release prisoners & finally #ShutDown850! Urge the Supervisors to VOTE YES on Fewer’s ordinance now!
Help us STORM SF’s SUPERVISORS
to VOTE YES to Shut Down 850 Bryant TODAY, APRIL 15th
By taking the following actions:
TODAY (4/15), EMAIL Supervisors YEE & MANDELMAN and urge them to VOTE YES on Fewer’s ordinance to close 850 now!
Suggested Subject for email: “Vote Yes on Fewer’s ordinance to Shut Down 850”
Email Addresses : *If you don’t see your Supervisor, visit our website: nonewsfjail.org/storm Norman Yee: [email protected]

Dear Supervisor _________, I am a ____ [resident/student/worker] _______ in San Francisco’s _____ neighborhood. I urge you to support Supervisor Fewer’s ordinance to close 850 Bryant St. Closing 850 Bryant and stopping out-of-county transfers to Santa Rita are essential steps in caring for and protecting all SF residents, especially the poor, the houseless, LGBTQI people, immigrants, and people of color, and especially in this grave time of the COVID crisis. The closure will also save our city an estimated $25 million per year, which is better spent on community resources we are in dire need of: housing, healthcare, meaningful employment, access to healthy food, mental health and substance use treatment. With the jail population currently below 800, the City is already more than 200 people below the target number of 1,044 required by this legislation. It is beyond time we shutter the jail at 850 Bryant for good. Vote yes on Supervisor Fewer’s ordinance to shut down 850 Bryant now.
Sincerely, Your Name
